LAX sux. Despite getting to the airport an hour prior to our flight, we came rather close to missing it as a result of the utterly incompetent manner in which the airport screening lines were configured. Can't wait to pick up the little guy tomorrow morning. Hurrah!

Only a week ago I was back in Houston with great weather, yummy cheap food, and old friends and family. For perhaps the first time, I was not excited to return to New York (except to pick up Mr. Kitty). The magic has worn off.
